Okavango Delta is unspoiled African wilderness at its most magnificent. The Okavango River snakes southeast from Angola into the north of Botswana, where it meets the Kalahari Desert. The sands split the waters into radiating rivulets, forming an inland delta of over 15,000 sq. km. of twisting canals, islands and reed-choked marsh land. Come June, the outer fingers of the Delta swell as rains from the wet season filter down to northern Botswana. When the water recedes, wildlife gathers close around disappearing pools. Throughout the year, an astounding number and variety of birds, game and plants thrive in and around this watery wonderland.
Having done both bush camping and safari walk on one of the islands at Okavango Delta, I can testify that there is nothing like an aerial view of it. As you can see here, the beauty of the Delta is varied, colourful and breathtaking. It was like flying over a painting of nature. There is talk about damming Okavango River, which would spell demise for this wildlife paradise. After the flight, you will leave with strong conviction about preserving Okavango Delta, a piece of nature at its finest.
Yeah now I'm *sure* someone on this street is trading retro european sports cars.

When we flew to Ireland last week we took Delta through JFK (is there a more run-down, over-taxed airport in the United States?) to Shannon. When we got to New York they told us the flight was over-booked and they were going to have to split us up. That worked out really bad. My mom kept forgetting where she was and why she was there. Then after we arrived she had insane stories about how she slept in a bed with a woman and her daughter and wanted to know why I'd made her stay at their home. I'm like, "That was the people in your row on the plane, mom." And she'd say, "No! I was sleeping with them in their bed!" It took days to square that one away.
Anyway, at JFK they told us the flight was delayed and that we were waiting on a replacement for one of the flaps on the plane. Now, that's no small item to replace, but they said the part was coming in from Atlanta and we'd pre-board before the flight from Atlanta touched down so we could be ready to go as soon as it was in New York. Which seemed strange, since it should take a while to replace a flap, but whatever. Fifteen minutes after the part arrived we were in the air. So when we landed at Shannon I stood in the exit aisle and waited for mom to get to the front of the plane. The pilot was standing there, too, and he greeted some mechanics from Shannon and told them the flap they needed for their grounded plane was on-board. So the flap wasn't for our plane, even though they told us it was. What's even better is that to make room for the flap they left our luggage in New York. It arrived around 30 hours later. Now, this wouldn't be a huge deal, but I'm a moron and I'd packed my C-PAP machine in my bag instead of in a carry-on, so I couldn't sleep until it arrived. Then the guy Delta sent to deliver the bags couldn't find us and we had to go find him on the road, even though I didn't know my way around at all. Here he is with our bags. Kinda reminded me of Ed from 'Shaun of the Dead.'
SO yeah...Delta hosed us. Oh, and they didn't have on-demand movies on the flights. They had a VCR and the tracking was messed-up both coming and going so the sound and picture kept coming and going. And the movies were hellishly bad. Going we saw 'Mad Money' and 'Jumper.' Coming back we saw '27 Dresses', 'P.S. I Love You' and 'Jumper' again. And of course I'm going to watch the movies because we're locked in a tin can with absolutely nothing else to do. Ugh.
Thanks Delta!

Finally, my entry for the PSDTuts+ Delta Dawn competition.

INTERPRETATION OF BRIEF
Delta Dawn: The Singularity
"The year is 2399 A.D. An enormous supercomputer known as the Triarch covers the entire surface of the Earth. For two hundred years, it has dominated mankind with its army of machines and genome soldiers. Its relay hubs - monstrous structures known as the Spikes – tower over the landscape, a grim reminder to the humans living in slavery below.
Humanity’s last hope rests with the Delta Collective, a group of scientists, soldiers, engineers and refugees living deep within the city’s forgotten foundations, where the Triarch’s probes cannot penetrate… yet.
As a member of the Delta Collective’s elite combat operatives, it is your mission to strike at the Triarch’s silicon heart, using a combination of brute force, sabotage and subterfuge.
The 25th Century dawns. The time has come to take the planet back."

MY COMMENTS
My envisionment of the game was of a first-person shooter taking place in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic city, centering around the actions of a lone soldier in an underground guerilla war against a supercomputer that has subjugated all mankind.
The subtitle - "The Singularity" - refers to the hypothetical "technological singularity" that some think will occur when technology develops at an immense and uncontrollable rate, resulting in, among other things depending on who you ask, sentient computers. In my image of the game, mankind reached this singularity in the 2100s, and has been paying the price for it ever since.
I would create the entire game if I could - the general art style is represented in the box art. It would be a juxtaposition of the ultra-high-tech, clean, clinical forces of the Triarch and the grungy, dirty, "underground" denizens of the city.
Weaponry would be put together from salvaged parts around the city by the Delta Collective's science team and taken from the corpses and wrecks of the Triarch's forces. These would range from crude projectile weapons to radioactive sludge cannons and a "cold fusion gun" [Pictured - actually a modified camera tripod! :)].

I am unsure of the license of the matte painting in the lower-right screenshot - it's an image that I had on my hard drive. I liked it and used it, but I can remove it easily if necessary.
All the rest was done with original photography and texture generation techniques.

Delta Campground is located in the Willamette National Forest in Lane County, Oregon, USA. Known for its access to rafting and drift boat fishing on the McKenzie River, this scenic 38 site (33 single, 5 multiple) campground is located in a grove of old growth trees. Some of these ancient sentinels, predominantly Douglas fir and western red cedar, are centuries old and make for an enchanting setting. Access to the river, Cougar Reservoir and Terwilliger Hot Springs make this campground a great spot for camping and exploring the area.
Several hiking trails are in the surrounding wilderness, guarded by large Douglas fir and western red cedar trees. Visitors can also enjoy a short botanical walk on the Delta Old Growth Nature Trail. A day use area and amphitheater are also available at the campground. (www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/willamette/recreation/recarea/?re...)
